Hammer VIP does know what it's doing when it comes to gay hard-core scenes. It features lots of hunky and good-looking guys who are really keen to get down on each other and there is plenty of rimming before they take the plunge deep inside each other with hard-core fucking. There is quite a lot of group sex to view as well as your standard two-guys-together scenes, and the tour is an exciting place to start. It looks like they'll use any kind of model here; there's no one particular type of guy featured
Once inside the members’ area you will find it nice, clean and simple. Navigation options are listed down the left of the page and the latest videos are in the middle. There are sections for videos, photos, favourites and you can offer feedback. What you have is a very simple to use and straightforward looking members’ area though there are some up-sell links to be found. Then there are the other sites on the network which you get as a bonus to your membership.
I started with the videos, and the first impression is that these are all cut up into lots of smaller scenes so, basically, you appear to get twice as many videos as you actually do. Mind you these scenes are between 10 and 15 minutes in length, which is reasonable, and it is fairly clear that they come from some longer scenes. I found 63 of these segments, each one came with a page where you could stream in Flash, and there was also a download link for high-resolution WMV files. All clips will stream and downloads are full-length versions only.
I found a really hot outdoor scenes scene in here, featuring three really good-looking guys. For some reason they were up on top of a knackered old truck, but it wasn’t long before they started getting it on with each other. There was some really decent close up filming, so you can see the guy fingering his hole while someone’s sucking his cock and his nuts are swinging from side to side; yummy. The quality here was 690 x 720 at 1.49mbps, which is reasonable, but I guess things could always be better. When you play the videos full screen you do tend to see a slight loss of quality.
For some reason there were less photo sets than videos; I only found three galleries. Maybe
Hammer VIP is more about videos than it is photos. I also found the galleries were slightly confusing: Example, there were 160 pictures in one gallery, and it started with a solo shoot, with an amateur of guy and then suddenly switched to a hard-core scene in the woods. Settings changed from one picture to another. Mind you the images came out at 1000 x 1600, they were reasonable to view too, but not the top quality photography that we like to see.
Hammer VIP lets you in to eight gay bonus sites. You can access these from the sidebar, and there you will also find an additional four Tranny sites and a straight network. Things get updated once or twice a week, so even if you don't have a lot of galleries and videos yet, you should do in a very short time. Generally, I found the site rather straightforward and too plain for my liking. There is nothing specific, it is about no particular niche. The quality wasn't the best we've ever seen, but they just about get away with it. The best things about
Hammer VIP were the frequent updates, and then of course the access to bonus sites.
